The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.

The most important thing is to enjoy your life - to be happy - it's all that matters.

The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

Elegance is the only beauty that never fades.

Beauty is being the best possible version of yourself, inside and out.

Life is a party. Dress for it.

Never regret anything that makes you smile.

Association with my pupils has kept me young in my work. Criticism of their work has kept my own point of view clear.
